I am a full-time officer in the Na- tional Fire Service and you may be sure that they are greatly appreciate ed and very useful when wearing buns -boots at 'Blitz fires. • You can convey all our personal thanks to your friends and tell them from me that they are doing a fine job. Please write if you can spare the time; my wife and I would be so pleased to receive a letter from you. ' In peace -time my job is a buyer for a• firm of shippers in Manchester (mostly South American trade, very little to other parts of the world). When the war commenced. as I was a part-time fireman, I joined in a full - dime capacity. My hobbies are unus- ual ones: Music (opera),. languages (Spanish, Portuguese, French; Arabic, am taking up Russian at the moment) and particularly meterol'ogy (the stu- dy of climate and weather all over the world). My wife is interested in embroidery, dogs (and particularly Pussies), and also studies Psychology. Hope T haven't bored you with our ' C,mily ibistory, but it's nice to find mutual interests, isn't it? I will close now with this message: "We in Great Britain are all striving for what we know will unfailingly he achieved—Victory . — V -and with the help of all, the Allies and God's will the end may be nearer than is at present apparent. No doubt you hear rumrours of disquiet, despond- ency and fears for the result of the war, stories (false) concering condi- tions over here, but do NOT believe them; we are UP and staying UP, and there will be no doubt about the final issue. Once more, many thanks for -the knitwear and please write to yours sin- cerely, Mr. and Mrs. E.
